    Hi Raymond, welcome to the forums!

    The EV2400 identifies itself as a standard HID (Human Interface Device), so no drivers are needed. The accompanying software to evaluate fuel gauges, bqSTUDIO, has worked without any problems on my Windows 10 64-bit machine.

    Hello Jason,

    Thank you so very much for your answer and for your kind words!!!

    I downloaded the SW and it can talk to the FG device on my board.

    I cannot UNSEAL the FG device and wonder if you help here to. FYI, Under "Commands" I go to UNSEAL and put a code and then go to "UNSEAL_FULL_ACCESS" and putting another code. When done, I cannot read from Memory Data.

    All your comments and suggestions are welcome!

    Best,

    Raymond

    Hi Raymond,

    What fuel gauge are you using, and is it from a board of your own design? If the gauge and board is from a battery that you have purchased separately, then it may have been sealed with a non-default unseal key.

    Hello Jason,

    The FG is bq40z50R1 and now all is working OK! Just have two questions.

    1. What is the difference between bq40z50 and bq40z50R1?
    2. Besides EV2400, I am using EV2300. Is there a "Lifetimes" feature in EV2300 as the one on EV2400?
    Otherwise, what is the best way of getting the recorded information from FG?

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Kind Regards,

    Raymond Koosha

    Hi Raymond,

    Glad to hear your fuel gauge setup is working out for you! In response to your questions:

    • The changelist between the bq40z50 and the bq40z50-R1 is available here (SLUA755).
    • The Lifetime Data and/or Black Box features of the fuel gauge are not part of the EV2300/EV2400 (they are merely adapters that let you connect a fuel gauge to your PC). That data is stored on the fuel gauge itself and should be accessible through bqSTUDIO if the gauge is unsealed.

    Regards,
    Jason

    Hi Gin,

    You are absolutely right, it works on my Windows 10 64-b as well.
